stay-at-home dad
Childcare-providing father
A stay-at-home dad is a father who serves as the primary caregiver for his children while his partner works outside the home.
The term parallels stay-at-home mom but emerged later as gender roles shifted: My husband has been a stay-at-home dad since our twins were born.
Sometimes abbreviated SAHD.
